UK's Theresa May 'appalled' at reports of sexual harassment at charity gala

LONDON, Jan 25 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May said she was "frankly appalled" at reports of sexual harassment at a charity gala in London and that it shows more work needs to be done to tackle the objectification of women.

Women hired to entertain businessmen and politicians at a men-only charity fundraising gala were groped, propositioned and sexually harassed at the secretive event, the Financial Times newspaper said on Wednesday.

"I was frankly appalled when I read the report," May told Bloomberg Television in Davos. "I thought that sort of attitude of the objectification of women was something that was in the past. Sadly, what that event showed is that there is still a lot more work for us to do."
